ZOOM

ZOOM ZOOM brings video meetings to your phone with HD calls, screen sharing, file transfer, virtual whiteboard, recording, and guest login—so you can join fast and multitask anywhere.

ZOOM

ZOOM is a video calling app that lets you start or join meetings. It’s packed with tools for everyday conferencing, including camera and call options plus file sharing, so you can handle meetings in one place. ZOOM also supports meeting recording and offline saving, letting you revisit what was discussed later—even if you missed a moment.

One of its standout capabilities is support for interactive drawing during calls, which makes it easier to multitask and move faster through tasks. Guests can also join using guest login, so people can enter a meeting without needing to register.

How to Use

• Open ZOOM Workplace on your phone.

• If your organization requires it, sign in with your work account or your personal account.

• When prompted, enable permissions for microphone, camera, contacts, and notifications so calls and meetings work properly.

• From the home screen, join or schedule a meeting—either by using your calendar or by entering the meeting details provided.

• Use team chat to keep the conversation going, share files, or start a quick call with someone when you need a faster response.

• During a call, you can use picture-in-picture to multitask. You can also move an ongoing meeting to another device if you change locations.
